Established in 1962, as the West Indian Independence Committee, to commemorate and celebrate the independence of Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. Many islands of the Caribbean received independence in rapid succession and lead to the expansion of the organization.

We will continue to grow and develop our partnerships with local governments and businesses. Our goal is to improve our ability to showcase our rich heritage culture and attract major Caribbean sponsors to make the link between Greater Hartford and the Caribbean.
